It is located on the fifth floor of the Equitable Life Building at 3435 Wilshire Boulevard in the Koreatown neighborhood of central Los Angeles, a couple of blocks north of the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools.

This extension office founded by Regala and Boncan would later become its own mission in 1955 by executive order of President Ramon Magsaysay, becoming Los Angeles's 17th consulate general.

[2] Two weeks later, the Consulate's staff called on President Ferdinand Marcos to resign following the seizure of Camps Aguinaldo and Crame by Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and General Fidel V.

[3] When Marcos was ousted, supporters of his successor, Corazon Aquino, hung a large portrait of her in the Consulate's offices, in addition to holding a rally outside.

[14] The Consulate has provided assistance to several high-profile Filipinos throughout its history, including former First Lady Imelda Marcos,[15] actress Nora Aunor,[16] former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn Bolante,[17] and Charlie "Atong" Ang, one of the co-accused in the plunder trial of Joseph Estrada.
